Such meat con t tains the eggg of tiny worms about [ 1-25 of an inch long. Sufficient heat kills the eggs, but if they are tak «n alive into the stomach, they hatch in the intestines of the unfor tunate eater. Each worm will give birth to at least a thousand more and they keep this up. They get into the blood and are carried all through the body to anchor in the nfuscular tissues. Nature tries to wall off these tiny worms by sur rounding them with calcium and other mineral matter. But once in fected, the parasites stay with the sufferer. They cause untold num bers of deaths and are seldom blam ed, as diagnosis is extremely dif ficult. In fact, at the present time the only way to be positive that tri chinosis caused death is a post mor I tem examination. Symptoms of the sickness close ly resemble typhdid, malaria, rheu matism, heart disease, and many other diseases. Pneumonia is a fre quent result of infestation of the body by trichinae In cases that are not fatal there .is much pain and lowered vitality. It is encourag ing to Southerners to learn that fewer cases are found in the South than elsewhere in the United States but that does not mean there is no danger here. Hogs that range in fields and have grain to eat are much less liable to infection than are those fed city garbage and kept in small lots. It should be borne in mind that thorough ectoking will kill all the trichinae in pork and make it safe to eat. But one great danger in this day of roadside stands is that a so-called hamburger sandwich may contain pork sausage mixed m ’ . t y at\o ■ J and brand them sO c ' e them with heaTt filled with and emptied to the dregs of patriotism. No wonder men return to crime. Their ex perience has taught them that the state is heart less and society at best is indifferent. We be lieve even boys ought to be punished for violat ing the law. In many cases a strap on the back would be better for the soul than a shovel in the hand. But something is wrong with our system of meting out justice to law breakers. There are perhaps few of us who might not have been sent to the roads or even to prison had the law overtaken us. If we “had sat where they sat” perhaps we might understand better and proceed differently. * The crying need of our prison system is not prison reform but prisoner reform. We have a Prison Board. We need more a Prisoner Board composed of some of our best Christian citizens. They should study each prisoner, learn his history and make provision for him when he is released. His relatives, his friends, or those who once knew him should be contacted and arrangements made for his welfare and return to society. He may be a prodigal of the worst sort, but there should be a place and a welcome for him some where. There should be a job provided till he has regained confidence in himself and the trust fulness of others. If our state should spend one-tenth as much in trying to rescue and redeem its prison charges during their incarceration as it does to punish them it would be worth far more to both the state and society. It would not only save money to the state, but it would save many a miserable hopeless mother’s son from a misery that leng thens into eternity. We have good roads. We have good schools for the making of good citizens of our boys. But we have better schools for making harden ed criminals who shall ever be a burden to the state and pariahs in society. We have talked with men who served time in the state prison at Raleigh. They told us that the state took no personal interest in them more than to see that they were kept safe and served time. Nothing was said as to their future when they had paid to the state the price of misdeed. When that debt was paid, they were sent out into a no-man's land. Many have no home. Few have any money. None have a job. The church at best offers a cold loaf, the world offers a stone. Look upon North Carolina’s School for Criminals! Each year thousands are graduated with full dishonors from its granite walls. If our General Assembly would appropriate double or treble the amount it offers our Welfare Board and begin an earnest and honest effort to salvage the hundreds of boys and men coming from our prisons today, that would be an evidence of the State’s having a soul and that a man may be down but never out if his commonwealth will lend a hand. with the beef. This mixture hur riedly cooked as such foods usually are, may carry the germs of death although perfectly safe if cooked sufficiently long at a high tem perature. Pork is one of the cheapest and one of the most nourishing of meats’ and the value of swine rais ing to the South would be almost impossible to evaluate. And it is • most gratifyng to remember that in this section home-raised pork is probably wholly safe. But we do eat barbecue and hamburgers that may be made from shipped-in and infected pork. Again it is a tremen dous relief to know- that these may be made safe by thorough cooking. Insist upon that. Eat your beef steak or your wild ducks rare, if you so desire; but see to it that yoifr pork is well done. PARDON US for blowing our own horn. But we ’ve got a bargain that’s too good to keep to ourselves. For only SI.OO you can get THE ZEBULON RE CORD and PATHFINDER, the national news weekly.
